I broke the earth till bone showed white
Sweated salt into the cracks
She gave me bread
Not the first loaf, not the sweet
The leftover
And Abel?
He sat in the grass
The sheep came to him like he was God
Like the sky owed him change
[Verse 1 | Raspy | Close Mic | Blues Groove | Behind the Beat]
I brought fruit
Not the first, not the gold
What stayed behind after I paid the sun
the dust
the bloody knee
I brought the REMAINING
He brought the BEST
Like best was easy
Like God should tip him
for work he never did
[Verse 2 | Building | Gritty | Drums Enter]
Fire came down twice
First time burned my hands
Second time kissed his
Not the smoke — the yes
Not the flame — the choice
I stood there with a basket of almost
Arms full of second place
And I knew
the world has a favorite
It ain't me
It ain't ever gonna be me
[Pre-Chorus | Slowing | Dangerous | Hammond Underneath]
Then the voice
Not thunder
Almost sorry
"Sin is crouching at your door
But you can master it"
I looked at the door
I saw my brother
Cool as a stone
I wanted to melt that cool
I wanted to crack that stone
[Chorus | Belted | Full Band | Wide Stereo | ANTHEM]
I TOOK HIM TO THE FIELD
NOT TO TALK
TO DIG HIM OUT OF MY WAY
WHILE HE BREATHES I'M SECOND
WHILE HE EXISTS I'M THE REST
AND THE EARTH WAS SOFT
SOFTER THAN MAMA'S BED
SOFTER THAN FORGIVENESS
WHEN I MADE HIM FALL
I MADE HIM GONE~
[Verse 3 | Narrative | Dark | Guitar Underneath]
Now the blood cries
Not him, he's quiet
But the blood I spilled
screams louder than my rage
Every drop: his name
Every drop: mine
The earth — that same earth
that never gave me enough —
drinks his best
and goes deaf for me
[Pre-Chorus | Angry | Rising | Drums Hard]
"Where is your brother?"
I don't know
I don't care
Am I my brother's keeper?
YES
That's the answer I swallowed
I'm the keeper
And the keeper
locked the gate
Threw the key in the fire
[Chorus | Belted | Full Band | Wide Stereo | Maximum Energy]
I TOOK HIM TO THE FIELD
NOT TO TALK
TO DIG HIM OUT OF MY WAY
WHILE HE BREATHES I'M SECOND
WHILE HE EXISTS I'M THE REST
AND THE EARTH WAS SOFT
SOFTER THAN MAMA'S BED
SOFTER THAN FORGIVENESS
WHEN I MADE HIM FALL
I MADE HIM GONE~
[Bridge | Guitar Solo | Mountain Blues-Rock Fire | Massive Heavy Tone | Hammond B3 | Thunderous Bass]
[GUITAR SOLO: slow wide vibrato, thick sustain, blues shred, feedback, building to frenzy]
(Hammond B3 swirling underneath)
[Outro | Spoken Fade | Intimate | Exhausted]
The mark on my forehead
ain't protection
It's a billboard
THIS ONE KILLED
Watch him wander
Nobody touch him
Nobody save him
God made me His memory
Walking with the favorite
dead on my back
And sin?
Sin still crouches
But now it sleeps in my bed
Eats at my table
It is me
It is me.........
